10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, 10 reviews
"Many home amenities we didn't even use. The rain kept our group from using lovely porches and backyard, but the location gave us easy walking access to restaurants, trolley and the beach. So we also hardly used the kitchen amenities or beautiful dining room with 12 chairs. Krysten was quick to respond to our questions....yes, you need to bring bed and bath linens, for example. Both parlors are large enough for our group of 8 to gather in one to discuss plans. Highly recommend."

"Lovely view, CLEAN - inside and out on the balcony, easy walk to beach and downtown, easy to park and get on main road. I usually don’t drive much on vacations due to the hassle, but this was extremely easy to leave in and out to explore more. Lots of towels. I liked the rocking chairs. I didn’t take advantage of the breakfast downstairs. It looked like they have free coffee and bagels. Solo female traveler and felt very comfortable. I also like that there was a screen door that locked so I can...

"Excellent location within walking distance of the mall/stores in Cape May and right on the beach. The layout of the rooms is great for larger families or multiple families travelling together since there are separate bedrooms, multiple baths and a full kitchen. Friendly and accommodating staff. Superior beds and linens. They make you feel special. We stay here often and will continue to do so."
